Souls Asunder

So what if I'm half alive for just one night
If my heart could beat it would
To echo through these hollow halls & haunted courts
Yet reignited by a spark of life
That dimmed eons back on moonlit nights

Pools of life in a deathless stare
Revealing secrets of your frailty so unaware
Emanating the warmth of flesh
Creeping down the wick
To melt this pallid wax of mine

A forbidden dance, a crimson vortex
Of glamoured tides on marbled doorsteps
A euphoric masquerade,
to be Repeated

At dusk she finds me so willing
To give in blindly, forgiving
Affliction bound by addiction
Yet so inviting

I pity thee for thou cannot see
The torture and treachery that you deliver
Hypocrisy and lies entwined
If my body is a sin then lead me to temptation.

Pledged upon an altar of stone
Swearing fealty to lust and carnal pleasure alone
Exile any single mere shred of hope
And cut your jagged teeth on bone
Incubas incarnated in flesh
Succubus in life & longing presiding over death

Either side of the spectrum collide,
No consequence to even be considered,
If there is not a true end to life.
Blame me of your sins and I shall share your guilt
Bite at my lips and grasp at my flesh,
Seek pleasure as,
I cradle thee into the deep.

An ode to bleaker times
In the shade of the macabre
Fixate on a frame of mind
Why fate has dealt these cards
Hanging from the gallows noose or petrified to stone, why choose?
Its so peculiar how someone can lose a heart whilst being seduced

I pity thee for thou cannot see
The torture and treachery that you deliver
Hypocrisy and lies entwined
If my body is a sin.

Freedom of will
Over blind faith

Let me
Be free
Of the Mortal Desire
Let me float face down dead in the mire

A horror in symphony
Take this body
It means naught to me
Sin deep
Shed my skin as an Apogee

So sublime
Ascended madness

My final taste of life,
A pulse that beckons me no more.
From a pitch, to a tone, then a musical note
Its sounds oh so inviting

I pity thee for thou cannot see
The torture and treachery that you deliver
Hypocrisy and lies entwined
If my body is a sin then lead me to temptation
